- WHAT'S NEW
- ============
-
- Read this section if you have used YChess1.08
-
- * The board and piece colours are now adjustable
- * Included command line options. This allows using a smaller hash-table
- when there's little memory left under DOS.
- * Included recapture search extensions. Modified passed pawn search
- extensions. This release should play stronger than the previous one.
- * The animation speed can now be adjusted using a slider
- (not terribly useful).
- * A minor change was made to the time-control.
-
-
- BUG FIXES
- =========
- -> Corrected an error in the "Draw" Algorithm. YChess1.08 played into
- draws for positions which should have been one.
-
- -> Corrected an error involving PxPep move generation at the root.
-
- -> Corrected an error which caused the program to hang when taking back
- moves involving a PxPep capture.
